Artisanal - BANNER ELK

As always, the service and our meal were outstanding. This is one of our favorite restaurants!

My wife and I have had the pleasure of dining at some incredible restaurants in major cities like NYC, LA, DC, Chicago, and Vegas. Without a doubt, Artisanal ranks among the top five dining experiences we’ve ever had.

The food was simply incredible, and the atmosphere provided the perfect setting. While it was quite expensive, we were aware of that beforehand, so it’s difficult to criticize the price. The service was also impeccable.

Artisanal is the quintessential definition of fine dining. Everything about Artisanal is top notch!!! They are currently offering a 3 course prix fixe menu with multiple delicious choices for each course. I thoroughly enjoyed. for the 1st course, the tuna tartare while my husband devoured his 15 layer lasagna and our son raved about the calamari. For the 2nd course, we ordered veal osso bucco, filet and lamb tenderloin respectively every bite for each of us was mouth watering!!! For the dessert course, my husband order the apple tatin while my son and I each had the peach crostata the perfect finishes to a sensational culinary experience.
